I completely understand that. One of the reasons I made myself the dryfire report in the first place is because once you get out of the habit of doing the practice, you don't realize how many days in a row you've missed! (At least, that is what happens to me.)
So with the report, I can see the gap and tell myself "shut up and do the work! I don't care if you don't feel like it!" ---because without seeing directly what I've missed, it is hard to get myself to do it sometimes.
--- Quote ---Plus, I was getting too good.

I have never had that problem. Unfortunately.
I would like to have that problem.
--- Quote ---I have been finding that switching platforms, i.e., Glock vs 1911, I get screwed up, particularly when I push speed. After working with the Glock, the 1911 sights are too low and suddenly, the 1911 trigger is SUDDEN! No crunch, crunch grind sproink BOOM! :) And after working with the 1911, the Glock sights are waaaayyyy up there.

You know, when I shoot someone else's 1911 or 2011, I find I don't really have a problem with the grip angle and sights, probably because during the draw/press-out I focus on the front sight, which means if I don't see it I raise the muzzle as the gun is moving outward so it moves into the proper position.
If I had instead been used to the 1911 and went to the Glock, that problem wouldn't automatically fix itself because I'd be seeing the sights from the beginning, and it wouldn't be as obvious that the alignment was off.
Trigger, on the other hand....have you done anything to smooth out the Glock trigger yet? If it is still going "crunch grind" you CAN fix some of that, you know....
...whenever I shoot a 2011, I find that I have to be a LOT more careful on the trigger because I'm used to using the takeup of the Glock trigger to get tension on the trigger finger (because that can help stabilize the hand/finger) prior to finishing the shot. And yeah, 2011s and 1911s don't really let you do that much.
"Okay, sights are align.."-BANG-"..ed. Well. Mostly. Dang it."
Lorimor:
It's sorta like learning a new language, you begin to understand your native tongue better. It is helping me understand the importance of picking up the front sight on the pressout.
I haven't touch the trigger. Just been dry firing it some and some range time.
Sproink!
abbafandr:
Getting too good is definitely a problem I would love to have.
So far I've only missed one day.
3 days of live fire, 13 competition events.
I think there has been a small improvement but there is a lot of room there.
Planning on selecting a drill or 2 and run them as a measurement of the progress, (or lack thereof).
abbafandr:
Well, another month under the belt. I think there is some improvement. Not getting to the range for testing as much as I need to. But I have noticed some flashes of mediocrity ;D
How is it going for the rest of you?
Captdad17:
First off, I like the dryfire report. Nice layout and easy to read. Hope you don't have any copyrights to it, cause I'm stealing it.
Second, not sure if it's been discussed here before, but I was wondering if anyone out there has had any success with the LaserLyte dryfire training system?
Third, looking for suggestions for best dryfire drills (or direction to be pointed in somewhere else in the forums).
